And even salted peanut butter still has about twice as much potassium as sodium.Numerous studies have shown that people who regularly include nuts or peanut butter in their diets are less likely to develop heart disease or type 2 diabetes than those who rarely eat nuts.
We Live in a Radioactive World The uses of radioactive materials, many of which generate low-level radioactive waste, have become an integral part of modern life. We do live in a radioactive world. Radioactivity is all around us. It is in rocks, in soil, in water.
Radiation is energy that moves through space or matter at a very high speed. This energy can be in the form of particles, such as alpha or beta particles, which are emitted from radioactive materials, or waves such as light, heat, radiowaves, microwaves, x-rays and gamma rays. Radioactive materials, also known as radionuclides or radioisotopes, are atoms that are unstable.
